wow i think we really are soul mates - i have that same shelf! i got mine at this amazing little shop in carroll gardens, its down on court street past prime meats.. can't think of the name and can't find it on google.. anyway, looking forward to coffee as well! i'm going to practice my letters tonight & line more paper :)

1. The trolley!!! I went to the Flea on Sunday for a quick look around, but was seriously overwhelmed. I think I saw the booth you got this from, but I need to just email the lady and see if she does appointments...

2. How cute are you?? This is the sweetest Valentine's Day gift I've ever heard of. I haven't even begun mine yet, eep!

3. Ugh, I just love men's long-sleeve shirts. I seriously get all aflutter when I see racks of them.

i embroider a little heart onto every piece of clothing i give to my boyfriend. he refuses to get rid of an old backpack i gave him ages ago just because of the little heart on it. he told me, "but i can't sell it! then someone else will have your heart!"

i just wrote in ink on the inside of his breast pocket, and filled in with embroidery thread. the hardest part is hiding the knot, since you don't want it to show through on the front. i just threaded over the knot.

Could you possibly give a more detailed description of how to do this? I've never embroidered before, and I'm confused by the internet how-tos I've found. It is such a great idea. I wish I could do it...
